Default Whats my plate worth?

I have just put a plate on retention, reg P18 YOU, obviously goes well on a P1, but i have no idea what its worth. I did have it valued by a reg dealer but id imagine thats not a price that you could sell it to a p1 owner as it would mean more to them ? I currently have it slightly spaced so it reads P1 8 YOU and looks great on it. But the car is as good as sold so i no longer require the plate. Anyone got any ideas what i could put as an asking price?
Cheers.

Great plate for a P1 owner but thats a pretty limited market audience. Dont think you'll get rich off it but reckon someone would part with 500 sheets for it.

I dont know did it?
As far as im aware, its a saying, some people will be after something like this for their cars, it come on a car i bought and now i want to sell it all, all i asked for was a price on what some people thought it would be worth, not what they thought of its meaning.

So you currently have it illegally spaced? Any plate that you have to illegally alter is pointless to me. I can pick up a plate with WRX at the end (which wont sit on it illegally) with many different combination of prefixes at the beginning for £250!
As said though, you're aiming at a very small market with this.

I wouldnt call it illegally spaced, the front plate is standard and the rear has a very small space between the 1 and the 8 but whichever way you have it, it still works people can still read quite easily have had many positive comments on it.
Yeah of course i know that, but hopefully it will sell, im not in a hurry. Cheers

Apologies - in that case, I think it's worth £10 and a packet of wine gums! HTH

Plus who realistically pays full asking price for these?

I had R5 APD valued at a stupid price of £1100, came with the car and supposed to look like 'Rapid' apparently. Tried selling for a year advertised at £400 (so a big cut) and had no interest at all. Ended up just selling it with the car.

I understand what you're saying, however there is a meaning to p1 8 you, I know this car, it is a 400+ HP monster, (I built it) so this plate does have a meaning for modified P1s. He's not aiming it at anyone else, other than P1 owners. That plate will sell, all he was after was some useful feedback on a nice plate, and didn't want stupid comments about kak WRX plates or not understanding the meaning of it.

^^^ He's asked on a public forum and I've given my opinion as to what I think its realistically valued at - as stated, its a small market. Plus spacing is lawful which you can't argue with, so P1 8 YOU is not lawfully spaced (and in my opinion justifies it meaningless).....FACT! I've only said what I think, so I don't see what you're moaning at?
